This is a very precious, but sad and happy post. It is never a happy memory of losing a loved one, especially a child, but to think she got to be with Jesus for her birthday party and your mom was waiting for her. May God bless you and comfort you always. Thank you for sharing this very painful memory with us. love and blessings, Teri

I can not imagine the pain and grief of losing a grandchild. This is a horrifying memory, but the child's fall was not your fault. She was told to get down from the tree. She did not. However, you were right there watching over her. Falling was a terrible accident. Your story is heartbreaking, and I pray God's peace remains with you always.

Comment from jim vecchio
This was such a heartbreaking tale and thank you for sharing this. There is nothing as sad as the funeral of a child and when that child is part of the family, it compounds the pain so much more. I'm thankful she is now, at least, in a perfect place with Jesus in a new body that will never hurt or be broken.

The hardest thing for me now is the broken relationship with her mother. Without Jesus forgiveness and comfort are not possible.

You are so right. I know I broke the heart of my parents. Just before she died, I asked my mother if she still loved me. She said, "I loved you ever since you were born!"

Comment from Liz O'Neill
You said you feel responsible for her death and yet you did everything you could to save her. My mother used to let us kids climb a boxelder tree that was 20 ft high and it was over rocks and a broke and we could watch river rats from where we were. She would come and look out the window to make sure no one had broke in their neck or fallen or counted we were all there. Then went back and did what she was supposed to do for house work.There were at least four other mothers who just intrusted our care to my mother. I'm writing my autobiography about including this question why would mothers just allow their children to climate tree. I guess the same as with this child Who don't seem to be nothing wrong with it. I'm sure she had climbed that tree before I don't think this was the first time. Nobody was really concerned although you and your husband were concerned and maybe thatWas something that should have been paid attention to. I'm thinking finally of you at your loss

Thanks Liz. I also climbed trees as a child. We cannot protect the ones we love. Only try to give them knowledge to guide them.
I am also realizing I am writing my autobiography story by story...Look forward to reading yours.

Comment from Ellen Donley
I can't even imagine the size of your grief, Esther. Your writing was so visual it made me tear up immediately. It felt like I was watching a movie. All of it so poignant. Hope stolen: "Then we were alone again with her machines." Please keep writing.

Thanks Ellen. She died in 2014 and it still feels like yesterday. You said you are writing your story too....I am not sure how it happens with other people, but I find my memories are not triggered in order. I have been posting a tiny bit of fiction too. (The Other Woman).
I can't "fan" you as reached quota. Is there another way to get to your postings or do I need to hang on to this email?

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
A beautifully told, heartbreaking story of senseless tragedy. I can feel the strength it must've taken to put pen to paper on this one. She is surrounded by family and in the arms of her Lord. Thank you for sharing such a personal story and good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much. I am still struggling to with my relationship with my daughter-in-law. I have flip-flopped so much on my feelings. Never written them for people to read before. I need to move forward from here.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I'm truly sorry for your loss. It takes incredible strength to confront such painful memories, let alone put them into words. Your love for your grandchild shines through every detail, and your account vividly captures the heart-wrenching moments of that tragic day. Thank you for sharing your story.

Things happen so quickly, and many times bad results come from the very things we do regularly every day. I'm so sorry for the loss of your granddaughter. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. It has been stuffed for so long. I needed to share. She died in 2014. This is the first I have had the courage to try to write about it.
Comment from jessizero
Your story moved me to tears. I am so sorry this happened to your family. I am, however, glad she was able to meet her great grandmother in Heaven. I know this could not have been easy to share. Best wishes to you.

Thanks Jessi. Without believing in Jesus I could not bear it. She died in 2014. This is the first I have had the courage to try to share.
